His Flyship on a Spree.

The bartender said: "a roach is q
happy, harmless drunkard, but liquor
makes fly quarrelsome. At that in
slant big house fly fell into glass of
champagne that one of the spectators of.
the roach's debauch was preparing to
drink. The fly was rescued from the
wine and layed on the counter. He ap-
peared at first to be dead, but he finally
revived, struggled TO his feet and tried to
walk away. One of the spectators thrust
his finger before the fiy's head, but his fly
ship paid no heed to the act. He walked
about in circle and staggered like q
topper. Occasionally the legs on one side
Of his body would give out and he would
fall over on his back, YEARLY wave his
legs in the air and then Lie motionless and
supremely contented. A magnifying
glass was produced and a view of the fiy's
countenance showed that his eyes were
CLASSY and his expression idiotic as COM
pared with that of the temperate by.
When the wine had begun to fully assert
its power the fly struggled TO his feet and
proceeded to vindicate the bartender's es-
innate Of him. He reeled along the
counter until he met sober fly that was
making toward q cube of loaf sugar. The
topper darted toward the temperate Hy and
attacked him with malice aforethought.
The temperate fly tried in vain to escape.
Then he turned on his assailant, rolled
him over on his back and left him with his
legs in the air.

work, completed, is to comprise from
fifteen to twenty volumes, which are
in large type, and really beautiful and
excellent in all mechanical qualities,
and yet sold at the pbenomenally low
price of so cents per volume for cloth,
or 60 cents for half-morocco bindings
even from these prices large reduc-
tions are made to early purchasers,
and to clubs.

names as Ferreira the Portuguese

The state fair management paid
$5,746. 80 for advertising purposes.
OF this amount considerably less than
$1,000. was paid to tue country news
papers, and the balance was paid to
city papers, invested IN posters, and
etc. We think a study of the results
produced by the different kinds of adj
yer.ising will show that the money
spent with country papers brought
much greater returns to the society,
proportionately than that used for
other kinds of advertising and will
warrant the board in making more
adequate appropriation for country
advertising next time.

What Am IIo Do2

The symptoms of Biliousness are
uiihappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals To some
extent. A bilious man is sei,,om II
breakfast eater. TOO frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of u morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if 1t is not white and iurred
1t is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipa-
tion may be symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often
Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddIness and often
headache and acidity or tiatmlence
and tenderness in the pit Of the
stomach. TO correct ali this If not

Formerly the highest paid man about q

keeper, or perchance the manager, if the
business justified such person. Now
the window decorator divides the honors
and commands as high a salary as any at
tache of the house. His function is an inn
portant one. His labor, though not ar
duous physically, requires something of
the gift of the artist and hence commands
good wages. There is no more important
